setTransitionTime with a negative value should do crossfading according to the 
API docs (I'm pretty sure there was no setTransitionTime when crossfading was 
first added to JuK but I could be wrong).  However the docs warn this may not 
work reliably with every backend as well....

As far as fading out a track while fading one in, that's the "cross" in 
crossfade.  I'm not sure how else it is supposed to be, as the fading in this 
case is done since you're playing two songs simultaneously, for however brief 
a time.
